This is a port of my previous Personal Notepad hack for vBulletin 3.5, with some added features and modifications that had been requested. It now makes use of template hooks and is placed in a more convenient location for users.

This hack will add a personal notepad for your members - a feature you may know from for example Invision Power Board. For short, members will be able to edit the content of their own notepad as they want, storing in it whatever they might feel like.

1 automatic template edit
1 product to install

FEATURES

- A notepad in members' main user CP area where they can type in whatever notes they may want to take down and save them
- Notepad can be resized
- Javascript for allowing users to see when they have exceeded the character limit
- Admin CP options (turn on/off, maximum input length, liquid/fixed width, width of fixed-width notepad, usergroups allowed to use notepad)
- No manual template edits
- Fully phrased for easy translation

INSTALLATION

1. Import product-personal_notepad.xml through the Admin CP.
2. Edit the Personal Notepad options in the vBulletin options if desired. (It is automatically turned on upon installation, so if you want to start using it right away without worrying about the options, you can.)
3. There is no 3. You're done. Go inform your members of the addition.

VERSION HISTORY

3.1: Saved space in liquid-width notepad by putting character counter and textbox size changers in the same line, phrased some stuff that was forgotten and added usergroup limitations in the admin options.
3.0: Tweaks for fitting better with the look of vBulletin, cached template, Javascript counter for character limit, made notepad collapsible, added version history.
2.0: Ported to 3.6, added resizing function and admin CP options.
1.0: Initial release.

You could make just a user profile field labeled "Notebook".

That's a lot harder to access, though, since it takes two clicks instead of one and requires the user to scroll down the page, if not to edit the field in the first place then definitely to save it. This is more convenient because it's easy to get to it and you can quickly just type in what you want and save it.

Augh, forgot to phrase that thing. Will do. As for usergroup specific, that shouldn't be hard at all either. I'll go work on that stuff.


I originally intended to do it that way, but it only really works when the personal notepad is liquid-width - if it were fixed, those would land somewhere by the notepad's side, and it would look awkward. I might look into making it appear this way for liquid-width, I suppose...

EDIT: Okay, got that done.
Thank you!

This has more features, better grammar and no manual template edit at all, in addition to not being about to be removed from the site, so I suggest using this one instead.

Oh, yeah, forgot screenshots. I always forget something.

EDIT: Screenshots added.
Ouch, I will update to your version

It would be fantastic with the WYSIWYG editor and the other things like [b], [i], [u], font, size, etc.
However, I will use this mod on my site!

Which vBulletin version are you using? This product uses template hooks, which were introduced in 3.6.something. I think it was 3.6.6 or 3.6.7. If you have an earlier version or didn't revert the template when you upgraded, then try finding this bit in the USERCP template:

Code:
<!-- ############## END PRIVATE MESSAGES ##############  -->
</if>
and adding this below it:

Code:
$template_hook[usercp_main_pos2]
If it still doesn't work then, you'll need to change the plugin code. Just tell me if you do.

I never saw the point of parsing input in the personal notepad. After all, why would you need presentation on something that nobody other than you is going to be looking at? If you want to emphasize something in the notepad, there are plenty of text-only ways to do that. I think parsing it for formatting would get in the way more than it would help.
